Mark Hamill on Walking Onto the Millennium Falcon Again and More
Looks like Jedi Master Luke Skywalker will be riding on the Millennium Falcon again in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. During a brief interview with Extra, Mark Hamill talked about what it was like to be back on the iconic ship. He also discusses George Lucas' happiness and the new generation that will be bringing future Star Wars films to life.
On the Millennium Falcon:
"Can I say this? Is this out? Yeah, the déjà vu of walking onto the Millennium Falcon again and remembering all these details that they've got exactly right from old photographs and old blueprints...I can't describe the feeling. Even now it seems surreal to me. It seems hard to believe that it's actually happening."
On Lucas being unrecognizable:
"Seeing [George Lucas] this happy, he's almost unrecognizable. Because when I was with him [on the original trilogy], he was fretting over all the details, so he didn't have time to enjoy himself. To seem him in such a good place, it's thrilling."
On the new generation of filmmakers:
" [Star Wars] is now in the hands of the generation who were fans."
The next trailer for the film will be attached to Avengers: Age of Ultron on May 1st, and it will give us our first look at Luke, Han, and Leia in the next chapter of the Star Wars saga. I'm so excited to see these characters back on the big screen together!
